B2 Rocket Droid

Does anyone else find this unit completely underwhelming as an ally in Geo TB (aka Bug Party?)

Its tanky and survivable but its damage output is seriously lacking! As is its potency, it never lands a debuff unless tenacity downis on the field. Its definitely underwhelming at the moment
  • He's pretty much exclusively designed to make the GG droid team absolutely awesome. Works great with GG's leadership potency.

    I find it useful to call GG and Dooku to assist and soaking damage for the team

    Agreed, it's pretty bad when we're talking about how the event unit needs a rework, lol. The added tenacity on defense makes it useless on offense.

    Yeah, the constant assist call on Dooku definitely didn't make the 4/4 possible in the Dooku/AV mission and having an additional sep droid for a GG squad (that gains stacking potency) to generate TM for the team is just useless.

    I think the point is more that you need specific toons for it to be good and that it's tuned such that it's pretty trashy when used outside of those squads
  • For me he's just a toon that soaks up attacks destined for my squad. I'm glad he's there.

    Considering we all pushed for 6/6, maybe the other droids would've worked a bit better, who knows. He has health, can take some hits, sure. He is something for the clones to shoot at. Doesn't do much besides that.

    Is there something that ties the droids level to the leaders level? If I get a g13 lead, the. Will it have a bit more power? Seems like the way it is designed is just to stack the droid, then more stats the next phase, and it's actually usable in p3.
  • The droid is trash. Yes, I get the comments that you like it because it takes some damage from going to your squad... then why isn’t it a taunting Rocket Droid ? The name itself, Rocket Droid, implies some damage power — oh, wait, there was the trailer showcasing it being summoned and doing some real damage too. The damage and it’s landing debuffs are lackluster.
